This recipe uses them for breakfast with fresh pears with a touch of cinnamon really spice up the average flapjack. Individually quick freeze these pancakes to enjoy them any time you want in under a minute with the help of the microwave.

Ingredients

Makes: 4-inch pancakes

2 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups buttermilk

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 large eggs, beaten

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup dried cranberries

1 ripe Bosc pear, quartered and thinly sliced cross-wise

Directions

Gather these tools: cutting board, chef's knife, dry and measuring cups, measuring spoons, large mixing bowl, whisk, nonstick saute pan or griddle, offset spatula

Preheat a nonstick saute pan or griddle.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Make a small well in the center of the bowl. Add the milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla. Gently whisk the wet and dry ingredients together, just until well combined, but not lump-free. Gently stir in the cranberries and pears.

Using a dry measuring cup, pour 1/3-cup batter onto the hot pan for each pancake. Cook until the top of the pancake bubbles. Turn the pancake with a spatula and cook just until the underside is golden brown.
